And this is why don't game.

Garh!!  I decided to splurge a little and purchased a Sherlock Holmes game that was a download from Amazon.  Everything went fine until I went to play. When I click on New Game, it freezes!  My whole computer freezes, and I have to bring up the task manager to close it out. What the heck?  My computer has more then enough power and oomph to play this.  Anyone have a clue what I'm doing wrong?  I think I'm cursed when it comes to games, because every time I try, something like this happens. Sigh.
